That confirms my suspicion that Amy Chua's article was a most fine piece of trolling. She wrote outrageous things in the article thereby trolling thousands of parents into buying her book, i.e. the WSJ article was "link-bait" to her book. Even if you're a non-parent you might be drawn by the someone-is-wrong-on-internet effect into criticizing her claims, but she's got a simple answer ready for you: "buy my book".
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoFrom what I've heard her say, she didn't do the final edits and was surprised by the WSJ take on her book as well (likely, her publisher was involved, though). She was on Colbert last week and seemed quite reasonable. She explicitly states it isn't a parenting book, it is a memoir about parenting, immigrants, and culture.
